Hun nikket, og så var vi stille litt til, og så gikk jeg* (She nodded, and then we were silent for a bit more, and then I left) by Rebekka/Huy includes this text (translated from Norwegian by Sceneweb’s Lillian Bikset):

"I try to do the dishes, I try to open the door, I try to meet you, I try to stroke your cheek, I try to understand, I try to matter, I try to run, I try to dance, I try to walk, I try to save the world, I try to be a good friend, I try not to be pathetic, I try to forget, I try to go by train even though it’s cheaper to fly, I try to pick up the phone, I try to remember, I try to hate you, I try to remember you, I try to say something important, I try to be mad, I try to do well, at home, at school, for you, at work, when buying groceries, for the neighbour, on the bus."
